Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: asking and answering questions about informational text
1
Write the topic of the book or article.
2
Draw and label one fact you learned.
3
Finish the sentence: 'I learned that ___. '
4
Write or dictate one wonder: 'I wonder ___. '
5
Look back at the text or picture. Can you find an answer to your wonder? Mark the page or draw the clue.
6
Tell an adult one new word from the text and what you think it means.
- Use an informational text with one clear topic, such as an animal, weather, or a simple how-to book.
- Separate a fact from a question orally before asking the child to record either one.
- If the text does not answer the wonder, celebrate the question and label it 'find out later' instead of forcing an answer.
